Published: with international search report (Art. 21(3)) (54) Title: PRODUCT MANAGEMENT IN BIOLOGICAL CONVERSION PROCESSES (57) : Improvements in biolo- gical conversion processes and associ- 34 , ated apparatuses are disclosed for the 159 generation of useful end products such as ethanol, through metabolic pathways 24 of Cl-fixing bacteria that utilize, as a nutrient, a Cl-carbon source from a Cl- containing substrate such as an industri- al waste gas. Particular aspects of the disclosure relate to the downstream re- covery of ethanol and/or isopropanol from bleed and permeate streams and more particularly to performing such re- covery with improved efficiency that can advantageously reduce capital (e.g., equipment) and/or operating (e.g., util- ity) costs.
